Birthday Girl

After months of waiting, Ava's big day finally arrived.  We celebrated her birthday a Care Bears party at Aliso Beach with some of her closest friends.

Of course no birthday party would be complete without a birthday cake.  As part of the Care Bears theme, Mommy made a super rainbow cake.

After the party, we headed home to open presents and play.  Ava naturally loved every single present.

On Tuesday (Ava's actual birthday), she celebrated with pancakes, a mani-pedi, cupcakes and a pool playdate, and a dinner at her favorite restaurant Snoopy Dog (aka Lazy Dog).
